'The Bachelorette's Ashley and JP: 'Bentley drama is in the past'

The newly-engaged couple told reporters on a recent press call that they had moved on from Williams and had no desire to confront him about his actions on the show.

Hebert said: "It was so long ago and I have JP. I forgave [Bentley] a while back. I have no interest in talking to him or seeing him. I am so far removed from all of that. I wish him well and hopefully he wishes the same for me."

Rosenbaum added: "I think he made his bed and now he can lie in it; he showed who he was. The worst part of it was watching Ashley see it for the first time and being hurt for it and all the people judging her based on what they saw and not being able to defend her.

"Like she said, the Bentley phase was so long ago. I have nothing to say to the guy. It's over in my book."

Hebert also told reporters that although she was initially upset that she hadn't been warned what Williams was saying, she understood why in light of the fact the show was about her own personal journey.

She said: "There was definitely a part of me that was upset for a short period of time but then you realize it's about your own journey and experience and it led to such a great man... There is a part of me that thinks the hard times brought me and JP closer together and now we have this very strong relationship so I don't know if I would go back and change anything."

As for the other contestants, both Hebert and Rosenbaum said that they hope to remain friends with them because of the bond they developed on the show.

Hebert said: "One thing I said at the beginning and I still stand by is that I had such a great, respectful group of guys. I'm hoping we can all be friends after this. We all went through it together and experienced something that other people haven't."
